Open a file. More secure versions of these functions are available; see fopen_s, _wfopen_s.

FILE *fopen( 
   const char *filename,
   const char *mode 
);
FILE *_wfopen( 
   const wchar_t *filename,
   const wchar_t *mode 
);

Parameters

filename
Filename.
mode
Kind of access enabled.

Return Value

Each of these functions returns a pointer to the open file. A null pointer value indicates an error. If filename or mode is NULL or an empty string, these functions trigger the invalid parameter handler, which is described in Parameter Validation. If execution is allowed to continue, these functions return NULL and set errno to EINVAL.

For more information, see errno, _doserrno, _sys_errlist, and _sys_nerr.

Remarks

The fopen function opens the file that is specified by filename. _wfopen is a wide-character version of fopen; the arguments to _wfopen are wide-character strings. Otherwise, _wfopen and fopen behave identically. Just using _wfopen has no effect on the coded character set that is used in the file stream.

fopen accepts paths that are valid on the file system at the point of execution; fopen accepts UNC paths and paths that involve mapped network drives as long as the system that executes the code has access to the share or mapped drive at the time of execution. When you construct paths for fopen, make sure that drives, paths, or network shares will be available in the execution environment.

Always check the return value to see whether the pointer is NULL before you perform any further operations on the file. If an error occurs, the global variable errno is set and may be used to get specific error information. For more information, see errno, _doserrno, _sys_errlist, and _sys_nerr.

Unicode Support

fopen supports Unicode file streams. To open a Unicode file, pass a ccs flag that specifies the desired encoding to fopen, as follows.

fopen(&fp, "newfile.txt", "rw, ccs=encoding");

Allowed values of encoding are UNICODE, UTF-8, and UTF-16LE.

If the file already exists and is opened for reading or appending, the Byte Order Mark (BOM), if it present in the file, determines the encoding. The BOM encoding takes precedence over the encoding that is specified by the ccs flag. The ccs encoding is only used when no BOM is present or the file is a new file.

참고

BOM detection only applies to files that are opened in Unicode mode (that is, by passing the ccs flag).

The following table summarizes the modes that are used for various ccs flags given to fopen and Byte Order Marks in the file.

Encodings Used Based on ccs Flag and BOM

ccs flag	No BOM (or new file)	BOM: UTF-8	BOM: UTF-16
UNICODE	UTF-16LE	UTF-8	UTF-16LE
UTF-8	UTF-8	UTF-8	UTF-16LE
UTF-16LE	UTF-16LE	UTF-8	UTF-16LE

Files opened for writing in Unicode mode have a BOM written to them automatically.

If mode is "a, ccs=<encoding>", fopen first tries to open the file with both read and write access. If this succeeds, the function reads the BOM to determine the encoding for the file; if this fails, the function uses the default encoding for the file. In either case, fopen will then re-open the file with write-only access. (This applies to a mode only, not to a+ mode.)

Generic-Text Routine Mappings

TCHAR.H routine	_UNICODE & _MBCS not defined	_MBCS defined	_UNICODE defined
_tfopen	fopen	fopen	_wfopen

The character string mode specifies the kind of access that is requested for the file, as follows.

"r"
Opens for reading. If the file does not exist or cannot be found, the fopen call fails.
"w"
Opens an empty file for writing. If the given file exists, its contents are destroyed.
"a"
Opens for writing at the end of the file (appending) without removing the end-of-file (EOF) marker before new data is written to the file. Creates the file if it does not exist.
"r+"
Opens for both reading and writing. The file must exist.
"w+"
Opens an empty file for both reading and writing. If the file exists, its contents are destroyed.
"a+"
Opens for reading and appending. The appending operation includes the removal of the EOF marker before new data is written to the file. The EOF marker is not restored after writing is complete. Creates the file if it does not exist.

When a file is opened by using the "a" access type or the "a+" access type, all write operations occur at the end of the file. The file pointer can be repositioned by using fseek or rewind, but is always moved back to the end of the file before any write operation is carried out. Therefore, existing data cannot be overwritten.

The "a" mode does not remove the EOF marker before it appends to the file. After appending has occurred, the MS-DOS TYPE command only shows data up to the original EOF marker and not any data appended to the file. Before it appends to the file, the "a+" mode does remove the EOF marker. After appending, the MS-DOS TYPE command shows all data in the file. The "a+" mode is required for appending to a stream file that is terminated with the CTRL+Z EOF marker.

When the "r+", "w+", or "a+" access type is specified, both reading and writing are allowed (the file is said to be open for "update"). However, when you switch from reading to writing, the input operation must encounter an EOF marker. If there is no EOF, you must use an intervening call to a file positioning function. The file positioning functions are fsetpos, fseek, and rewind. When you switch from writing to reading, you must use an intervening call to either fflush or a file positioning function.

In addition to the earlier values, the following characters can be included in mode to specify the translation mode for newline characters.

t
Open in text (translated) mode. In this mode, CTRL+Z is interpreted as an EOF character on input. In files that are opened for reading/writing by using "a+", fopen checks for a CTRL+Z at the end of the file and removes it, if possible. This is done because using fseek and ftell to move within a file that ends with CTRL+Z may cause fseek to behave incorrectly near the end of the file.

In text mode, carriage return–linefeed combinations are translated into single linefeeds on input, and linefeed characters are translated to carriage return–linefeed combinations on output. When a Unicode stream-I/O function operates in text mode (the default), the source or destination stream is assumed to be a sequence of multibyte characters. Therefore, the Unicode stream-input functions convert multibyte characters to wide characters (as if by a call to the mbtowc function). For the same reason, the Unicode stream-output functions convert wide characters to multibyte characters (as if by a call to the wctomb function).

b
Open in binary (untranslated) mode; translations involving carriage-return and linefeed characters are suppressed.

If t or b is not given in mode, the default translation mode is defined by the global variable _fmode. If t or b is prefixed to the argument, the function fails and returns NULL.

For more information about how to use text and binary modes in Unicode and multibyte stream-I/O, see Text and Binary Mode File I/O and Unicode Stream I/O in Text and Binary Modes.

c
Enable the commit flag for the associated filename so that the contents of the file buffer are written directly to disk if either fflush or _flushall is called.
n
Reset the commit flag for the associated filename to "no-commit." This is the default. It also overrides the global commit flag if you link your program with COMMODE.OBJ. The global commit flag default is "no-commit" unless you explicitly link your program with COMMODE.OBJ (see Link Options).
N
Specifies that the file is not inherited by child processes.
S
Specifies that caching is optimized for, but not restricted to, sequential access from disk.
R
Specifies that caching is optimized for, but not restricted to, random access from disk.
T
Specifies a file as temporary. If possible, it is not flushed to disk.
D
Specifies a file as temporary. It is deleted when the last file pointer is closed.
ccs=ENCODING
Specifies the coded character set to use (UTF-8, UTF-16LE, or UNICODE) for this file. Leave unspecified if you want ANSI encoding.

Valid characters for the mode string that is used in fopen and _fdopen correspond to oflag arguments that are used in _open and _sopen, as follows.

Characters in mode string	Equivalent oflag value for _open/_sopen
a	_O_WRONLY \| _O_APPEND (usually _O_WRONLY \| _O_CREAT \| _O_APPEND)
a+	_O_RDWR \| _O_APPEND (usually _O_RDWR \| _O_APPEND \| _O_CREAT )
r	_O_RDONLY
r+	_O_RDWR
w	_O_WRONLY (usually _O_WRONLY \| _O_CREAT \| _O_TRUNC)
w+	_O_RDWR (usually _O_RDWR \| _O_CREAT \| _O_TRUNC)
b	_O_BINARY
t	_O_TEXT
c	None
n	None
S	_O_SEQUENTIAL
R	_O_RANDOM
T	_O_SHORTLIVED
D	_O_TEMPORARY
ccs=UNICODE	_O_WTEXT
ccs=UTF-8	_O_UTF8
ccs=UTF-16LE	_O_UTF16

If you are using rb mode, do not have to port code, and expect to read most of a large file or are not concerned about network performance, you might also consider whether to use memory mapped Win32 files as an option.

Requirements

Function	Required header
fopen	<stdio.h>
_wfopen	<stdio.h> or <wchar.h>

For more information about compatibility, see Compatibility.

The c, n, t, S, R, T and D mode options are Microsoft extensions for fopen and _fdopen and should not be used where ANSI portability is desired.

Example

The following program opens two files. It uses fclose to close the first file and _fcloseall to close all remaining files.

// crt_fopen.c
// compile with: /W3
// This program opens two files. It uses
// fclose to close the first file and
// _fcloseall to close all remaining files.

#include <stdio.h>

FILE *stream, *stream2;

int main( void )
{
   int numclosed;

   // Open for read (will fail if file "crt_fopen.c" does not exist)
   if( (stream  = fopen( "crt_fopen.c", "r" )) == NULL ) // C4996
   // Note: fopen is deprecated; consider using fopen_s instead
      printf( "The file 'crt_fopen.c' was not opened\n" );
   else
      printf( "The file 'crt_fopen.c' was opened\n" );

   // Open for write 
   if( (stream2 = fopen( "data2", "w+" )) == NULL ) // C4996
      printf( "The file 'data2' was not opened\n" );
   else
      printf( "The file 'data2' was opened\n" );

   // Close stream if it is not NULL 
   if( stream)
   {
      if ( fclose( stream ) )
      {
         printf( "The file 'crt_fopen.c' was not closed\n" );
      }
   }

   // All other files are closed: 
   numclosed = _fcloseall( );
   printf( "Number of files closed by _fcloseall: %u\n", numclosed );
}

The file 'crt_fopen.c' was opened
The file 'data2' was opened
Number of files closed by _fcloseall: 1

The following program creates a file (or overwrites one if it exists), in text mode that has Unicode encoding. It then writes two strings into the file and closes the file. The output is a file named _wfopen_test.xml, which contains the data from the output section.

// crt__wfopen.c
// compile with: /W3
// This program creates a file (or overwrites one if
// it exists), in text mode using Unicode encoding.
// It then writes two strings into the file
// and then closes the file.
 
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stddef.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <wchar.h>

#define BUFFER_SIZE 50

int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
wchar_t str[BUFFER_SIZE];
size_t  strSize;
FILE*   fileHandle;

    // Create an the xml file in text and Unicode encoding mode.
    if ((fileHandle = _wfopen( L"_wfopen_test.xml",L"wt+,ccs=UNICODE")) == NULL) // C4996
    // Note: _wfopen is deprecated; consider using _wfopen_s instead
    {
        wprintf(L"_wfopen failed!\n");
        return(0);
    }

    // Write a string into the file.
    wcscpy_s(str, sizeof(str)/sizeof(wchar_t), L"<xmlTag>\n");
    strSize = wcslen(str);
    if (fwrite(str, sizeof(wchar_t), strSize, fileHandle) != strSize)
    {
        wprintf(L"fwrite failed!\n");
    }

    // Write a string into the file.
    wcscpy_s(str, sizeof(str)/sizeof(wchar_t), L"</xmlTag>");
    strSize = wcslen(str);
    if (fwrite(str, sizeof(wchar_t), strSize, fileHandle) != strSize)
    {
        wprintf(L"fwrite failed!\n");
    }

    // Close the file.
    if (fclose(fileHandle))
    {
        wprintf(L"fclose failed!\n");
    }
    return 0;
}
